Hi everyone!
We’re
travelling under the Sun in earthy Virgo along with a stellium of planets all
pointing the way and keeping the focus on healing and purification!
What’s been happening:
Mars/Saturn
Antares meeting on 24th: Whew!
Did
you feel that shift in energy as Mars and then Saturn pulled away from their
meeting with Antares? It was about 27th, 3 days after their exact meeting. Such
heaviness we’ve been processing this past week as we stood at the threshold to
the underworld thanks to Antares presence. All manner of darkness and shadow
emerged from us, from humanity and from the earth. I felt as though a truck had
run over me or as if I was caught in the rubble of the earthquake zone, crushed
to pieces with all manner of pain emerging from the body.
Staying
true to our experiences and honouring our journey:
Maybe
you didn’t have the physical experience but felt the emotional challenges of
heaviness of heart, mind, the body. It doesn’t matter the source or the
experience. And if you experienced none of this then that’s totally what you
need to honour. We just need to stay tuned to our personal experience and be
true to that. We have different experiences at different times depending on our
‘brief’ this lifetime which we can interpret through our natal chart. However,
there are broad trends which many experience at the same time.
It’s Virgo energy calling the
shots!
With a stellium of planets in Virgo,
we're in a big healing time.
Grounding...hug a tree!
Grounding...hug a tree!
On 23rd August the Sun joined Mercury,
Venus, Jupiter as well as the North Node of the Moon in this earthy sign of the
divine feminine.
Cleansing and
purification is more than having a bath or shower: It’s emotional, mental and
etheric!
'Healing' means coming to wholeness and
in Virgo it's all about the purification process, cleansing the aura and all the
bodies...mental, emotional, physical and etheric. If you don't maintain the
practice of meditation, light work, breath work, toning, physical movement to
clear extraneous energies arising from the earth and humanity as well as from
within, then you're likely to feel unwell and off balance.
Illness signifies a
rebalancing: The immune system is our messenger!
Health and wellbeing, Virgo's focus,
requires diligence and awareness to what's throwing us off kilter. We're all
carrying the dark primal forces within as long as we live on earth. How we deal
with them is our responsibility. When we experience illness we can guarantee
that something's being brought into balance, being released. Allowing that
process to run its course and practising the release processes which suit us is
the way to go.
Focus on digestive, nervous and
respiratory systems:
With Virgo, grounding our energy is
important so the food we eat, exercise, walking as well as a balance of rest and
relaxation for the nervous system as Mercury rules the nervous system. Often the
Virgo energies can bring about issues with digestion so especially important
this time not to overload the system and to eat foods which are easily
digestible. The digestive system holds so much unresolved emotional energy so
eat what you feel like and when you feel the need to eat to allow the emotions
to release.
27th August: Venus
meeting Jupiter brings rainbow abundance for all!
There's
rainbow on the horizon as we move away from the intensity of the last week's
karmic cleansing and purification brought to us by the Mars/Saturn/Antares
connection.
An
old door closes, leaving behind the heaviness of the grey clouds and the new
door opens on the rainbow offered by the meeting of Venus and Jupiter.
Our
heart energy expanded by Jupiter's hope, optimism and promise as the two met on
28th August 8.29 am AEST. The rainbow energy is already washing over us and
stays with us until 29th August.
A
new chapter of abundance:
However,
their meeting signifies a new chapter in good fortune, luck, love and the
abundance of life on earth. How beautiful that it comes in to uplift and prepare
us to accept the healing earthy power of the New Moon in Virgo on 1st September.
Let's
ride the rainbow and have faith that we have closed a very big door on the
past!
29th August: Venus met Mercury at 29 degrees Virgo...a rebirth
of heart and mind!

Effective from 28th to 30th August
Following
on from Venus’ meeting with Jupiter, she rides the rainbow of abundance straight
into the arms of Mercury, our mind manager!
A
new chapter of heart/mind connection:
Conjunctions/meetings
of planets signify the opening of a new chapter
Mercury, our mind manager and Venus our heart energy make some
beautiful music today when they come together at the final degree of Virgo, 29
degrees. Another meeting signifies a new chapter in the heart/mind unification.
It’s a rebirth of heart and mind coming together on the
final degree of Virgo, the sign of healing and wholeness. It’s a beginning and a
culmination all at the same time!
The shadow of Saturn and the
darkness of Antares is still hovering over us for a bit longer:
Dispel the
dementors!
Be patient for that heaviness to move on. Saturn
is a dampener and with Antares seems to be bringing out all the karmic goo from
every pore of our being. If you’re still doing it tough chances are something’s
being aspected in your chart in relation to Saturn/Antares.
Keep focus on bringing in the love for self
and harmony with heart and mind will bring us through to the New Moon on 1st
September. The 'dementors' can
only drag us down when we lose focus on the light!
Hocus, pocus, focus!
What’s coming in:
30th August: Venus moves into Libra at 12.06 pm AEST
Love, balance,
harmony and justice!
Into the labyrinth: Round and round we
go!
This Symbol implies the ability to see
things from many sides, not just one. You may be able to, or need to, see things
from two perspectives. This can be a marvelous asset, particularly with the
Virgo ability to discriminate and make observations. This Symbol can also imply
split personalities or not being able to make one’s mind up. Further, it can
show situations where two people are checking each other out, but aren’t able,
or allowed, to show themselves, they’re “Beyond the Shadows”. This Symbol asks
that you look beyond situations and into the light. People may be afraid to take
a chance, just 'looking out' and not moving forward. Duality of observation.
People peering and peeking. Spying. Secret agencies. Private detectives. The
media, paparazzi, conspiracy theories. Voyeurism. Cross eyed.
The Caution: Confused by duality. Failing to see the integration of more than one perspective. Mental instability. Fear and apprehension. Bickering. Eavesdropping.
Until
24th September
Venus leads the way into Libra: Heart
power, wisdom and divine partnership!
Venus moves on to Libra the day after meeting
with Mercury/mind. She is the trailblazer for mind and heart unification and
setting up the energies for Jupiter’s entry into Libra on 9th September.
Mirror,
mirror on the wall:
Accepting
the reflections...’the good, the bad and the ugly’!
Libra rules all one one one relationships
including the one we have with ourselves. Through our one on one relationships
we come face to face with many aspects of ourselves. Art:
Tamara Adams
When we
find a kindred spirit, the reflections feel positive as they reinforce who we
are and our sense of self. When we see, meet others who challenge us in some
way, we just need to do a ‘reccy’ of whether those ‘irritants’ in the other are
disowned aspects of ourselves.
When we can observe without getting too
triggered, we move beyond the judgmental feelings. We come to peace within
ourselves, the greatest gift we can give ourselves and the world. It’s a
seemingly impossible task in today’s world and yet we continue in this learning
about ourselves process.
Divine
karmic justice: Coming to peace and resolution!
As a ruler of Libra, Venus has come home to offer
us the peace and equilibrium that comes from the rebalancing of our being. We
just had a meeting of mind and heart with Mercury and Venus meeting on 29th.
This sets us up for working further with the rebalancing act of Libra as heart
energy leads the way into the sign of harmony and love!
Whatever
it takes: Karmic justice for the heart!
We are all entitled to experience the
full power of love!
We think of
Libra as all peace and love but there is the side to Libra which demands and
seeks justice and the pursuit of that justice can at times seem ruthless. The
Venus/Jupiter rainbow connection brought expansive loving energies of abundance
on all levels and effectively flushed out any dark shadows within which have
been harbouring feelings of being unloved, critical of self and others and
unworthiness. The ‘good stuff’ comes in and highlights those feelings, thoughts
and memories which have kept us in the darkness, separated from full light and
acceptance of divine love.
The
bottom line: Peace, love, harmony and divine justice for all!
30th August: Mercury turns retrograde at 29 degrees 05 Virgo at 11.03 pm
AEST
Until
22nd September
The inner journey which takes us through a mind
purification bringing clarity and understanding which may not be fully
accessible until we emerge from the retrograde journey.
Nuggets
of ‘gold’: Aha! I’ve got it!
However,
that being said, during Mercury retrograde time we are likely to discover
nuggets of ‘gold’, knowledge about ourselves and our place in the world.
Work,
commerce and divine calling: Getting our ducks in a row!
In
particular, Mercury rules commerce as well as communication and Virgo is
concerned with the everyday world of work and our alignment to our ‘divine
calling’. This is perfect energy for joining the dots from ‘work’ to
‘joy’!
Pigeon
post: Communication slowing, reviewing, possible glitches!
Yep, we know. Communications slow and can become
confused. Ensure travel plans, appointments, all vehicles are okay. Double
checking all forms on communication is important.
‘I’m
late, I’m late for a very important date!’ No...you’re not!
Divine
timing, divine order!
The
agitation that often comes with Mercury retrograde periods MAY be exacerbated
by Mercury retrograde in Virgo who likes everything on time and in place. We
need to stay focussed on refining whatever we’re working on. It’s dotting the
‘i’s’...all good!
Steady
Neddy! Remain calm! Calm! Time out!!!
As we all
know if we’ve been observing our experiences, we could possibly experience
technology and/or technology glitches, breakdowns during this period, especially
on the day Mercury changes direction or a day either side. Often these glitches
seem to be of the strangest nature and seemingly cannot be ‘fixed’. Not always
mind. However, it’s worth remembering and if something does occur, give yourself
some breathing space and some time out in trying to fix the problem. Sometimes,
the problem just rights itself of its own accord.
Back to
the past:
Reclamation, review, renew, regenerate, re-consider,
refine and any other ‘re’ you can imagine!
Turn back the clocks, step back in time to find
some of the treasures we’ve overlooked as we were steaming through the fires of
purification over the last month or two. It may be ideas, projects, people,
places or any number of memories from the past. Stay open for what’s coming
through. is it a final closing on the door or opening to a new perspective of
this ‘past’ energy.
Perfect
time to refine and streamline: Sorting, sifting and clarifying!
Retrograde
periods offer an opportunity to ‘tidy up loose ends from the past as well as
give us some breathing space to collect out thoughts, especially with Mercury
our mind manager travelling through the ‘clean and tidy’ energy of Virgo. Virgo
offers that wonderful energy of synthesis and refinement which ‘cuts and
polishes’ all the rough edges and loose ends of our thinking. Make the most of
this tidying up period to clear the mind and sort out the wheat from the chaff
whether it’s your ideas, old ideologies or thought processes. If you’ve got an
old project on the backburner it may come forward for reclamation and offer a
renewed focus!
1st September: New Moon in Virgo Annular Solar eclipse at 9 degrees 21
Virgo at 7.03 pm AEST
Art: Amanda Clark
What a spiritual set-up for this New
Moon Eclipse! Primed and ready!
The astrological energies leading us into this
have been nothing less than unbelievable with a whole host of Virgo planets
working on the purification process along with Saturn/Mars/Antares clearing
primal energies from within our physical world/s body/ies. It’s been an
incredibly physical experience whilst clearing the cell memories and
transforming the DNA.
A
New Moon in Virgo: Let’s get real!
Virgo is
concerned with the earthy everyday reality of our mundane world, finding joy in
the simplicity of life and taking pleasure in energising life through order.
Magic
happens! Surreal? ...yes!
However, there is another side to Virgo, a magical
side which will be awakened and/or re-awakened with this New Moon which, within
the current energies of the eclipse and Mercury retrograde in Virgo, will be
turning our everyday view of the world on its head. We’ll be like Alice down
the rabbit hole...adventuring!
Manifesting
potential:
Like Capricorn and Taurus, Virgo carries the
earthly manifestation powers when harnessed by the esoteric energies.
Sun
and Moon united and reborn: More Virgo healing and...rebirth!
The Sun and
the New Moon are on the same page calling us to believe in the power of joining
the dots from the spiritual energies to the physical realm.
Joining
the dots: Spiritual and Physical bodies!
We’ve been
working with this diligently for the past few weeks in purifying and cleansing,
releasing ourselves from the social conditioning, the embedded DNA and cell
memories from other times, places and people. We’re coming to believing in our
own power, our entitlement to feeling worthiness and to receive earth’s
blessings in full.
Neptune
opposite the New Moon:
A bridge to the great
unknown!
Personal and planetary evolution!
We're accessing the big unknown and bringing it into earthly reality. Who knows what knowledge is coming in with our communicator Mercury in retrograde motion in his home sign of Virgo.
What we do know is that the spiritual knowledge is coming into our physical being, into our physical world. A more elevated and refined perspective is manifesting in the coming weeks!
Here’s the potential:
All for one, one
for all we’re all crossing that bridge and joining the dots!
North Node up close to the New Moon/Sun:
Physical evolution of consciousness
South Node close to Neptune: Spiritual/emotional evolution of consciousness
Mars at 14 degrees Sagittarius will
be on the Great Attractor:
The Great Anomaly working on the physical body!
This energy
is so huge, bigger than any energy in the cosmos yet identified by scientists.
All they know is that it has a gravitational pull greater than anything in our
known world. It is not a black hole. It draws in and ‘spits’ out a little like
a breathing life form.
Mars, ruler
of our physical body, fire and drive is sitting on this powerful point of
release at the New Moon. Can we expect a personal and/or galactic ‘shift’ in
energies at and following this New Moon? Entirely possible.
Maybe
you’ll feel the ‘life’ or ‘old life’ being sucked out of you like the dementors
in Harry Potter. It’s a cosmic experience that is galactic and I imagine we’ll
be coming out of this New Moon more empowered than we’ve been for some time.
‘The
Great Attractor is a gravitational anomaly in intergalactic
space within the vicinity of the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster at the centre of
the Laniakea Supercluster that reveals the existence of a localised
concentration of mass tens of thousands of times more massive than the Milky
Way.’

From 1st September New Moon Solar Eclipse until New Moon in
Libra: Into the eclipse vortex! ‘Down the rabbit
hole’!
Eclipse
vortexes bring unusual and often extraordinary experiences, very much like Alice
in ‘Alice in Wonderland’.
For the next month we enter an alternate reality,
so it seems, which offers perceptions and insights beyond our normal vision,
experience and understanding.
Expect
changes to our physical world:
Unexpected, extraordinary and often sudden! Be
not afeared!
This New
Moon is a Solar Eclipse in the earth sign Virgo. Solar eclipses usher in
changes to our ‘physical’ world, our outer life in the world which may manifest
within a month to 6 months, even 12 months later. Those changes for us all will
be in the realm of health, wellbeing, everyday work, the mundane world and our
divine ‘calling’/path of joyful service.
I am
feeling with all the other planetary line-ups that the changes coming in will be
bring a positive shift and boost to us all whatever our realm of concern or
focus. Virgo is offering to ‘clean up’ our act on earth! Hang on for a
ride!
Astronomical
Information: 1st September Annular Solar Eclipse
An
annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon covers the Sun's center, leaving the
Sun's visible outer edges to form a “ring of fire” or annulus around
the Moon.
Regions
seeing, at least, a partial eclipse: South
in Asia, West in Australia, Much of Africa, Atlantic, Indian Ocean,
Antarctica.

Lauren Gorgo’s 5D message for 29th August: ‘Eclipses to Equinox: the ultimate balancing
act’
Opening
paragraphs:
The energies of the new month are already
beginning to arrive, heralding the entrance of some superhero (m-f) rebalancing
efforts set to take place in our lower body system in preparation for 2017…a
year when the planet will need as many people as possible anchored in divine
neutrality.
We
are moving into a period of grounding, a profound integration of the new
accelerated creation cycle which amplified exponentially thru the Lion’s Gate,
and becomes fully viable on the September 22nd equinox, directly following the
last eclipse of the year.
I
know that many are relieved that August is coming to a close but the Leo energy
amounted to an absolute inferno of creative fire that was so necessary for this
upcoming cycle. It brought with it many perks, but also many challenges, as we
were required to burn off anything still preventing our fully empowered (divine)
Self expression. The upside is that we realized, with the right perspective,
that the fires of hell are really just those of transmutation…dogged in their
determination to empower us to become the leaders of our own
lives.
And from what I am hearing, so many have
succeeded in ways that will change the course of our lives, but also the course
of history.

17th
September: Full Moon in Pisces Lunar Eclipse
Well folks that’s it!
A bit on
the lengthy side but so much happening I just needed to include with one aspect
leading to another. We’re heading towards the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces
with Jupiter shifting focus from Virgo to Libra after his year of expansive
purification of hopes and dreams, bringing us into alignment and acceptance of
our divine calling!
As always
love and blessings to us all as we embark on our journey into the eclipse vortex
with the New Moon in Virgo. All we need to remember is to expect the
unexpected, go with the flow and be open to the universe offering the gifts of
fresh perspectives and fields.
Oh yes! We
don’t know where we’re going so just one foot in front of the other and let the
heart lead the way! If it excites and stimulates passion in the spirit then
there’s every chance we’re right on track...somewhere!
Hugs all
round, Mad Hatter wishes and we’re not running late!
